Re: 338 RUM shooting the RN bullets

I have had great accuracy success with the Hornady round nosed 250 sp in my .330 Dakota ahead of 83-84 grains of H-4831, I have not clocked this load but imagine it to be in the region of 2800 plus.

This load is the most accurate for my rifle and will place several consecutive shots under the inch at 100 yards, something spitzer bullets will not do.

to date use has been confined to wild boar in Hungary (I live in the U.K) and all fell to a single shot, accepting that a single shot kill is a success in bullet performance terms, all the bullets have broken up and caused massive internal damage, on the largest boars no exit has resulted, but even on piglets weighing no more than 40-50 lbs, set up of the bullet has been extreme.

I await a supply of the same weight and profile bullet by Woodleigh, in theory at least this should have all the vitures of the Hornady with the added advantage of a bonded construction.
